Wicked Good Midsummer/Litha Picnic

Midsummer is the traditional midpoint of the harvest season and the summer solstice - the longest day of the year. It's celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere and has its roots in ancient paganism and Celtic traditions.

We will be gathering to share the bounty of First Harvest and spend some time together.

Please bring:
- A dish to share + serving utensils (plan to take your leftovers home). Unless you're planning to cook, please bring something ready to eat.
- A folding chair / something to sit on.
- BYO non-alcoholic beverage
- Something for "Show & Tell. Everyone has a favorite magickal book, divination tool, or other item of interest that can be shared with the group.
- Sunscreen
- Bug spray if you need it. Chances are they'll be out when we are.

This will be held at a county park so there is no admission fee to the park.

Please check the calendar frequently for new events as it is updated on a regular basis.

If your plans change, please update your RSVP so that someone else may participate. Thank you!

Oak Moon: June 10 - July 7
"The Oak moon falls during a time when the trees are beginning to reach their full blooming stages. The mighty Oak is strong, powerful, and typically towering over all of its neighbors. The Oak King rules over the summer months, and this tree was sacred to the Druids. The Celts called this month Duir, which some scholars believe to mean "door", the root word of "Druid." The Oak is connected with spells for protection and strength, fertility, money and success, and good fortune. Carry an acorn in your pocket when you go to an interview or business meeting; it will be bring you good luck. If you catch a falling Oak leaf before it hits the ground, you'll stay healthy the following year."
